The cost of lingual braces installation in Turkey typically ranges from $2,800 to $4,500. Pricing can vary depending on the type of lingual system used (Incognito, WIN, or custom-made), the orthodontist’s experience, and case complexity. In the United States, the average cost is $9,500 (according to AAO). Lingual braces installation in Turkey is about 61% less expensive than in the U.S.
Turkish packages usually include the initial consultation, pre-op blood tests, personalized treatment plans, English-speaking staff, post-operative medication, follow-up visits, care instructions, meals during clinic visits, and 24/7 patient support. In the U.S., the price often covers only the braces and orthodontist fees, with separate charges for diagnostics, adjustments, and retainers. Patients should always confirm exactly what is included with their chosen clinic.

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Turkish government. The Turkish authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 77 billion liras for healthcare annually.
As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.
The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.
In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.
